The Supernatural journey finally continues! The series premiere of The Winchesters is here, and it was nothing short of the supernatural. On The Winchesters Season 1 Episode 1, John Winchester and Mary Campbell meet for the first time, and their lives are changed forever. As a Supernatural fan, I can say with my whole heart that The Winchesters is such a great series. Like a lot of fans, I was weary with how they would tell John and Mary’s story since what was shown on Supernatural is different from the prequel series. But this story, as different as it is,…
The same DART spacecraft impact can result in very different craters on Dimorphos depending on what the asteroid material is like. The crater on the left is the result if Dimorphos is composed of strong rocky material, while the much larger crater shown on the right could occur if the Dimorphos is made up of much weaker rubble-like material.

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will crash into asteroid Dimorphos on Sept. 26, executing the first asteroid deflection test that has been years in the planning. Dimorphos, at 150 meters across, is the “moonlet” of a…
Rosdiana Ciaravolo Life hack: value bundles make life so much easier.

And because gift-giving isn’t only relegated to the Christmas season, beauty sets are great for upcoming birthdays, helping friends expand their fragrance palette, or introducing yourself to new hydrating serums.Ahead are the 26…
Some try to drive systemic change from the ground up. Peter Mui founded the Fixit Clinic, which trains people to repair their own devices. That’s good for the climate because it reduces waste and demand for new products and raw materials. But many devices can’t be fixed, due to things like packaging, design choices, or copyright enforcement. Capitalism, basically.Mui’s work involves fighting back in small ways—figuring out how to repair or hack the nuts and bolts of complex hardware, despite manufacturer roadblocks, and advocating for those roadblocks to be removed. But his broader aim is to help bring about a…

But Wuthering Heights? I’ve read this novel on an almost yearly basis since I was… 18? 20? Forget the opening line, I can quote the first paragraph, and a number of passages besides (that is how I know that Heathcliff cannot, in fact, live without his heart). This is a polarizing story. People either love it or hate it. But whether positive or negative, this book is almost guaranteed…
There was plenty of partying happening on Queen Sugar Season 7 Episode 6, but the only celebration worth attending included Sandy and Prosper. Listening to Parthena, Violet and Sandy talk about living life and enjoying freedom and love in their later years was the entertainment we didn’t know we needed. Parthena admitting she’d been naked in public was a story that should have been shared. And Sandy and Violet had no shame in admitting to active and enjoyable sex lives. And Violet was quick to assure Billie that finding love later in life could have far better results thanks to experience. …
The Greek island of Santorini, traditionally known as Thera, experienced one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the Holocene epoch, most likely between 1609 and 1560 BCE, according to a new analysis by Sturt Manning, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences in Classical Archaeology.

Ah, the ’90s. An era defined by MTV, halter-neck tops, and more boy bands than we care to count. Some of our absolute favorite pop culture moments were born out of this decade, and when we think back on it, we can’t help but relish in the wonderfully wild ’90s hairstyles.From messy buns to a broad selection of fringes, and, of course, butterfly clips galore, there was something special about the hair trends from this time. The It girls of the era, such as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and Gwen Stefani, were serving up enough inspiration to carry us right into…

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck or one that’s particularly great for coffee, we’ve done the hard…
On Friday (October 7th), pop experimentalist extraordinaire NNAMDÏ will unleash his newest album, Please Have A Seat. The record, his debut for Secretly Canadian, features some of his poppiest, most ear-worm tunes to date while remaining within the weird, outsider approach NNAMDÏ has become known for. But, is it really that weird? For years NNAMDÏ himself would say so, prefacing his music with a quick “it’s kind of weird” whenever sharing it. He even named his 2014 release Feckin Weirdo, and the branding stuck. The word would pop up in interviews and reviews, following the Chicago artist as he continued…
When the trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog animated movie premiered, fans freaked out. Whoever appeared in that trailer was not Sonic the Hedgehog. And they freaked out so loudly that Paramount actually decided to delay the movie and make the character look more like the version of the critter from the games. It all worked out; Sonic looked better, the movie was a hit, and got a sequel.There will be no such complaints about The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Mario looks like Mario. Bowser looks like Bowser. But the first trailer for the movie suggests there could be other issues. Chris Pratt plays the voice…
A tiny bug manipulates the behavior of its hosts to ensure its unlikely life cycle Credit: Daisy ChungAdvertisement Parasites give new meaning to the cliché “eat or be eaten.” Often their life cycle can be completed only if they are ingested by a host—multiple times for some—making the odds of their survival seemingly minuscule. To improve their chances, certain parasites manipulate their hosts’ behavior to make it more likely the eater will get eaten. The parasitic cestode Schistocephalus solidus requires a much larger host—specifically, a three-spined stickleback fish—to grow in and then a bird to breed in. But the parasite’s…

If Saturday Night Live seemed a little less Strong last night, Saturday, October 1, you may have picked up on Cecily Strong’s absence in that Season 48 premiere. Not only was the longtime SNL star MIA in last night’s episode, but she wasn’t listed in the NBC sketch-comedy show’s new opening credits. So what’s going on? Is SNL losing yet another cast member after this summer’s mass exodus? No need to worry. Strong is simply starring in a one-woman show in Los Angeles: a production of the play The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe at the…
Of all the questions that I’m asked as a beauty editor, how to actually get rid of dark circles has to be up there as one of the most widespread enquiries. Dark circles are all-inclusive when it comes to who they target, from my teenage sister whose laid-back approach to studying often results in all-nighters spent at the library to my friend who has forgotten what sleep is since becoming a mum of three.Luckily, there are things that you can do to combat dark under-eye circles if they are bothering you—and one of the simplest places to start is with a decent eye…
Coastal erosion threatens archaeological sites on every continent. Sixty percent of Africa’s 284 coastal sites of “outstanding universal value” could be at risk from a one-in-100-year extreme coastal event by 2050. And 42 of Europe’s Unesco World Heritage Sites in low-lying coastal regions of the Mediterranean are at risk of erosion. “Current climate change projections, coupled with human impacts, mean that the future is bleak for the ancient remains of many archaeologically rich coastal sites,” Marriner says.Archaeologists have few tools to prevent the destruction resulting from drought; budgets already strain to protect the most important sites. Building a sea wall…

Because plasma can shape very intense light without being damaged, it could be used to make components for lasers thousands of times more powerful than the strongest ones that exist Physics 22 August 2022 By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan Laser beams could be more powerful when passed through plasma gratingsShutterstock/luchschenF Using plasma to make lasers could make them more powerful and more compact. Matthew Edwards and Pierre Michel at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California proposed a laser design that includes components made from plasma, a state of matter similar to a hot “soup” of charged particles. They calculated that because plasma…
